My least favorite but most consistent habit as a New Yorker when I travel: Try to walk thru a city and end up needing to cross or walk alongside a highway.

“Wow you’re so firm with your boundaries” no actually I hate setting them and have been putting them off for months and months which is why I’m basically screaming now

I’m all about team collaboration but if you’re a partner and ask me, your direct underling, to review your work, I will automatically be suspicious. Like, is this a trap? Did you hide an error in here that you want to see if I can catch??

“do you really expect mamdani to get everything he’s promising done??”

pretty sure that’s not the standard literally any of the other guys have set

People will still go on Twitter thinking it’ll get them “more engagement” or “more authentic discourse”, and wind up with their brains deep fried. a sorry sight
Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!
